Mabuiag Island · Urban Centre
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
Far fewer everyday services are within reach here than in other Queensland areas, making Mabuiag Island (L) car-dependent. No homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, and the typical resident has very few amenity types within a short walk.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.
The walkability score is 0.8, which is car-dependent and far below the Queensland figure of 5.0. Only 1.4 amenity types are available within a 15-minute walk, compared to 4.8 across the state.
0.8
Car-dependent of urban centre areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
1.4
Lower than 87% of urban centre areas.
How many of the eight everyday amenity types — groceries, food & drink, health, schools, parks, culture, everyday services and public transport — the average home can reach on foot within 15 minutes, out of 8.
0.0%
Lower than 99% of urban centre areas.
Share of local homes that can reach at least five of the eight everyday amenity types within a 15-minute walk — the "15-minute city" test. Homes are counted as addresses (G-NAF), not people.
How many homes can walk to groceries, transport, schools, parks and health services.
While 56.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, no homes are within that distance of a school, grocery store, health service, or public transport. This means 100% of residents live more than 30 minutes away from these essential services.

7.9
Lower than 83% of urban centre areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
8
Lower than 88% of urban centre areas.
Walkable street intersections per square kilometre. Denser, better-connected street grids give more direct routes on foot than winding, cul-de-sac layouts.
6.5%
Higher than 73% of urban centre areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
